Hi Marco, SMH, and the rest of the list,
I assume you are familiar with Edi Weitz's CL-UNICODE:
"It also provides the ability to replace the standard syntax for reading Lisp characters with one that is Unicode-aware and is used to enhance CL-PPCRE with Unicode properties"
http://edicl.github.io/cl-unicode/#enable-alternative-character-syntax
I would hope that it would allow for some level of portable code.
Cheers,
Elliott

Hello parenthetical crowd
Is there a consensus about how to "name" Unicode characters, or every implementation does whatever it likes (thus breaking otherwise perfectly portable code)?
Cf., #\INFINITY
All the best

PS Do not even think to use the "hey, it is an implementation-dependent thing" argument!
